Middle Earth 1236

Haldir was very nervous as he arrived at Whit's door. He took a deep breath as he knocked on her door. The door opened and Whit was wearing blue jean pants and a sweatshirt.

" I thought you were going all Middle Earth?" said Haldir.

" Shhhh! No one is supposed to know! I only wear jeans because they are comfortable. By the way, look at you! Where are you going all dressed up?" asked Whit.

" I have come to take you to dinner in my talon," he said.

" I really need to get you a phone," Whit muttered, " Give me ten minutes and I'll be right there."

Whit ran inside to her room to get dressed. Haldir came in and looked around. She wasn't very tidy with her things. It looked like she was sitting on a chair reading. She had blankets all over the floor. 'She must have been cold' thought Haldir. He went over to Whit's chair to look at the book she was reading. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Suddenly there was a thud on the wall followed by "OWWWWWWW!"

" Are you all right?" asked Haldir.

" Yeah. I just fell and hit my head," responded Whit.

" Do you need help?"

" Do you really know how to put on a dress?"

" No…"

" Then no. I don't think you can help," said Whit.

About five minutes later Whit came out (finally)! She had on a navy blue long satin dress that flared out at the sleeves. The neckline was low. There was light blue lace that went across her chest and ended with the lace that went around her that went just below her breast. Her hair was straight as always. 'She's look more beautiful than she ever has,' thought Haldir.

Haldir was standing with wide eyes looking at Whit. After about a minute of awkward silence Whit said something.

" Take a picture it lasts longer," she said.

" Sorry," said Haldir. He offered his arm and asked, "Shall we?"

Whit took his arm and they went Haldir's talon.

" You look beautiful tonight," said Haldir.

" You don't look to bad yourself," said Whit.

Haldir looked up and said,

" Look at the clouds," Whit looked up as Haldir continued, " It is probably going to snow."

" Okay buddy, you're nuts!" said Whit.

" It always snows this time of season," said Haldir.

" Really? Then how come I can't feel the cold?"

" Elves don't feel the cold," said Haldir.

" Gosh! What else do not know that you do about elves?"

" Well, elves can walk on snow," said Haldir.

" REALLY? Awesome!!!" said Whit.

Haldir and Whit arrived at Haldir's talon shortly. Haldir opened the door for Whit and she saw all of the food and everything he had done for Whit. They entered and Haldir pulled out Whit's chair then he went to go sit down.

" Wow," exclaimed Whit. She saw a table in the dining room with a bowl with pasta in it. She looked at the candles and mainly the food.

" For tonight we are having salad as the appetizer, pasta as the main course, and chocolate cake for desert," said Haldir.

" You know what pasta is?" asked Whit.

" Yes. Why?"

" Because where I'm from it's Italian," said Whit.

Haldir stood up to go into the kitchen and get the salads. He came out and set Whit's salad in front of Whit, and then sat down with his. It was a Cesar Salad with a lot of croutons.

They ate their meal and then desert came. Haldir came out with the chocolate cake and Whit's eyes filled with excitement. He placed a slice in font of Whit and said,

" I know later I'm going to regret this."

" Why?" asked Whit.

" You are going to be bouncing off the walls," he said.

" True, so true," she said as she ate a piece.

They ate their cake and then went outside for a walk. They walked all over until they got to the garden. They sat down on a bench and started talking.

" So when you were like, ten what did you want to do in life?" asked Whit.

" Well, I wanted to be a March warden. My grandfather was a March warden so I guess I wanted to be just like him," said Haldir.

" What is just like him?"

" Be successful," he said.

" What is successful to you?"

" Great job, great friends, great family," he replied.

" Good answer," said Whit.

' Come on Haldir just do it!' Haldir thought.

He then suddenly got down on one knee, took out the ring for Whit and said,

" There is no use in hiding it, I love you more than anything in this world and I want to be successful with you, I want a family with you. Marry me?"

Whit looked at him as her tear started welling up with tears, a second later a tear rolled down her check.
